Story
Claire will be 3 years old in December. She is up to date on vaccinations, and has been a loving member of our family for the past two years. Claire is affectionate, energetic, and does well with children and our other dog. She enjoys being active and would do best with an owner who can give her regular exercise. We are seeking a new home for Claire because she has a strong prey drive toward small animals. She recently injured one of our cats, and because of this she cannot safely live in a home with cats or other small pets. She has also been known to chase livestock if given the opportunity. Claire will need a secure fenced yard and an owner who understands that she should not be allowed off leash in unsecured areas. This is a very difficult decision for our family, but we want to find Claire a home where she can have a successful and safe environmentfor her natural instincts. We will be selective about placement to ensure she is a good fit.

Story
Sweet P is about 5 years old.She doesn’t like her loose fur being pulled out and her lower back being jumped on. She doesn’t bite but will snip.She loves cuddles and movies. During the winter she loves chicken broth or tomato soup in with her dog food.She gets along with other cats and dogs well.When she growls she is being playful only does it with men to play who is alpha. It’s adorable and funny. When she is calm and laying down if you start playing with her she will get hyped. She doesn’t really play with toys but will snuggle a stuffed animal.She will let you know when she wants to go out to potty or play. She’ll whine and go to the door. Doesn’t bark indoors but will outdoors.She is a great companion.With new people she does jump with excitement & loves pets.When you are down or have anxiety she won’t leave your side.

Story
Bella is a sweet, well-rounded girl who is ready for a forever home of her own. She has a gentle, easygoing nature and fits in beautifully with both people and other animals. Bella does well with dogs and cats, is crate trained, and has good manners—she doesn’t jump up on people and isn’t an escape artist. She enjoys playing fetch and also knows how to settle down and relax when it’s time to unwind. One bonus quirk? She snores softly, making her an excellent built-in sound machine. One of Bella’s most endearing traits is her love for toys. She likes to carry one with her wherever she goes—especially outside. Potty breaks always include a toy in her mouth, and it never gets old to watch. Bella is the perfect balance of playful and calm. She’s happy to join in on fun activities but just as content snuggling up and enjoying quiet time with her people. She’s affectionate, gentle, and full of personality. Bella is truly a wonderful companion and would make a loving addition to the right home. Interested in adopting Bella? Apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LAPA/Dog

Story
Sophie has done everything right. She’s waited patiently. She’s loved fully. She’s shown nothing but kindness and loyalty. And still… she gets overlooked. Sophie would be the most grateful, gentle, devoted companion you could ever ask for. She doesn’t ask for much — just a home to finally call her own. She needs a home without cats, but she’s perfectly happy with or without other dogs. She’s laid-back and lazy, happiest lounging in her bed… though she does enjoy a few playful laps around the yard with her foster siblings when the mood strikes. She’s a treat hog, loves being rewarded for her good behavior, and honestly? Sometimes she deserves a treat just for being cute. Please don’t pass her up. Sophie is the real deal — and she’s been waiting far too long. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LAPA/Dog
